Going back to tooting Wort's horn, I'm currently doing nasty things with Paradox Engine to the point that I think I'll just end up diluting the goblin theme eventually and just go with tutor into Sprout Swarm, wait until the blue player is tapped out, shennanigans.

Not to totally dump on the Wort suggestion, but a friend of mine has a Wort deck, and I kind of hate it.

In other news, I think it might end up being either elves or a naya smorgasbord of tokens plus support for them.

Well, if you're going Naya, then Marath would be a solid choices. I run a budget version that I've enjoyed, and while it focuses mostly on Marath tokens I could easily see adapting it to more than those.

Added Tilonalli's Summoner to Wort because repeatable create token effects are good and sometimes you want tokens but don't want to spend cards from your hand to get them. Ascend on her checks at your EOT every turn until you have the Blessing, the tokens count towards the blessing and then you never lose it once you get it so there's a very high chance you'll get the Blessing from the first or second use depending on how fast she comes down. It's also not particuliarly difficult to generate lots of mana in the deck.

I've activated once and won the same turn but that was mostly down to Paradox Engine.

Also plays nice with Throne as the tokens are tapped and attacking when they arrive so any that survive combat will count towards the Throne at EOT.

Prossh (non-Food Chain), has been my go-to for tokens in Commander since he was released. Red gives you access to powerful burn and black gives you access to Grave Pact effects and versatile tutors. The deck wins through a combination of burn, buffs, and occasionally Commander damage.
